Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You install cumulative update package 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 on an instance of SQL Server 2005. You have a SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) package that uses a Flat File source in a Data Flow task. In the Error Output Setting page of the Flat File source, you set the Error property or the Truncation property of a column to Redirect Row. If the Flat File source contains errors in the column, SSIS stops responding when you run the SSIS package.

Note This issue does not occur before you install cumulative update package 2 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2.
